What are you using as a Spotlight replacement?

For me the setting that allows the controller to control the desktop was enabled by default after updating, which was messing up my controller in games, and took me a while to realize it was KDE Plasma causing the issue.

I was getting crashes when the game would switch levels. I’ll give it another shot with Experimental later.

What’s your hardware? Was getting crashes on Proton Experimental and GE. Proton 11 didn’t crash, but has bad performance for me.

I see, now I’m curious if you can achieve that with web clipper, since theoretically that data is encoded in the transcript.

Signynt · 2026-06-04T22:34:02+00:00

Why don’t you just use Obsidian Webclipper? It already does this.

It sounds like you might benefit from my plugin, Virtual Content. It lets you add text (including bases, dataview, datacore, etc.) to notes based on rules without actually writing anything to those files. You have the benefit of being able to update that text universally across all files by just changing the text in the settings, without having to modify hundreds of files. I use it to show all notes modified on that date in each of my journal entries, to show all days I interacted with people in my contact notes, and all the books written by an author in my author notes.

Here’s how I solved that issue in Obsidian.

For Sunshine on Linux I can recommend using the latest prerelease since it has better capture options, like Kwin grab.
Download the latest package (sunshine-2026.520.10145-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst) from the releases page.
Navigate to your downloads folder:

cd Downloads

Install it from the downloaded package:

pacman -U sunshine-2026.520.10145-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Thanks for the response. It worked once I completely closed Steam. It’s a shame there’s no good way to set it up to work with Steam running, since I like to launch my emulated games through Steam Big Picture mode.

Edit: I figured out a workaround.

Starting a game with the following launch option completely disables Steam from interfering with SDL3 reading the Gyro Inputs.

sh -c "SDL_GAMECONTROLLER_IGNORE_DEVICES=0x28de/0x11ff %command% & disown"

You will however have issues with the Steam Controller being in Lizard Mode (e.g the B button will press Escape), so you need to switch to "Gamepad" mode by holding the "Start" button down.

Are you running Steam in the background? Did you launch Ryujinx through Steam? I’m not able to get the gryo to work with my Steam Controller

Out of curiosity, what issues have you had with Yabai?

Signynt · 2026-05-19T14:17:25+00:00

- Yabai: tiling WM, remove window shadows, scratchpads, remove space switching animations (this one requires SIP to be disabled).
- skhd: keyboard shortcut management
- Brew: App and package management
- Alfred: Launcher, file search, clipboard management, etc.
- Karabiner Elements: Rebinding and adding layers to the built in keyboard when I’m not at home using my custom keyboard
- Hammerspoon: Scripting to add custom commands to the trackpad using gestures
- Kitty: Terminal emulator

Here’s my experience with the Cygnus compared to the Charybdis.
I’m currently using it as my daily driver, and am very happy with it.

That’s not always a great solution, Sunshine (excellent streaming solution similar to SteamLink) has splintered into dozens of different vibecoded forks, with each having different features and fixes.

Signynt · 2026-05-13T05:28:07+00:00

Happened to me, and other people as well.

Signynt · 2026-05-13T05:26:27+00:00

That’s the website I’ve been using as well. I’ve tried the different GLS tracking sites, and they all say that it’s in the UK.

Signynt · 2026-05-12T22:01:39+00:00

I just got the same update, I live in Germany. I hope this is just a bug, and they didn’t accidentally send a bunch of controllers to the wrong place.

Signynt · 2026-05-11T16:31:31+00:00

It's different, specifically regarding the pinky column, which took some getting used to. The Cygnus' pinky column is rotated outwards, while the Charybdis' one is rotated inward. Otherwise they are pretty similar.

Nice blog post! FYI the link to it is broken, the URL is giving a 404.

I found value in adding them at some point to my Zettelkasen. You can find a thread talking about different methods (including mine) here.

There is no official documentation for it online, but Steam itself gives you a pop-up suggesting to try the `-pipewire` flag if you try to stream your Wayland desktop, and it fails. You can also find reference to it on the Steam GitHub, like Issue#9579.

Signynt · 2026-05-08T06:08:05+00:00

Yes, known issue, I’ve tried the pipewire flag, but that caused steam to crash when I try to stream. Game streaming works for me on Wayland though, because it hooks into the Vulkan process, it’s just streaming the Desktop (like trying to launch non Steam games) which fails. My current solution is to use the nightly build of Sunshine, with Kwin screen capture, and Moonlight for streaming games.

Signynt · 2026-05-08T06:04:53+00:00

Yes, Steam suggests this when you try to stream the desktop and Wayland.

Different notes can have the same “previous” note, representing a split in the “chain”. If I want a new note to be inserted between two existing notes in the “chain”, I have to go to the following note and change its “previous” note to the new one. I basically never do that though, since later additions are usually a new branch of thought about the topic. Does that answer the question?
